"Many current, future and former Nebraska wrestlers will be in action this weekend at the 2018 Marine Corps Open Wrestling Championships held Friday and Saturday at the South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nev.

Incoming freshman Alex Thomsen (57 kg), redshirt freshman Christian Miller (61 kg), redshirt sophomore Caleb Licking (70 kg), redshirt sophomore Johnny Blankenship (74 kg), redshirt sophomore Beau Breske (79 kg) and redshirt freshman Mikey Labriola (79 kg) are all set to compete at the 2018 Marine Corps UWW Men’s Freestyle Junior Nationals (ages 17-20), which will be contested in four sessions Friday and Saturday."

Good experience for next years team where all these will be vying for a starting position. Looking forward to see how they do.
